Argentina Independence Tour

Your journey begins with a pickup at 8:30 AM from your hotel in Tucumán. The first stop is the Miguel Lillo Natural Science Museum (entrance fee not included), where you will explore the rich nature and geography of the province of Tucumán. The museum showcases an array of impressive dinosaur fossils discovered in the area, along with information about various animals originally native to Argentina that now inhabit other parts of the world.

Next, we will visit the Casa Belgraniana, the historical home of General Manuel Belgrano. This elegant building provides insights into the battle of Tucumán, a significant event in the Argentina's War of Independence that General Belgrano was part of. You'll learn about the important political shifts that arose from this armed conflict during your visit.

Once we conclude our exploration of the Casa Belgraniana, we will continue to Ingenio San Pablo to uncover its sugar production heritage, followed by a visit to Villa Nougués and the picturesque San Javier Hill. At the hilltop, you'll be greeted by the impressive Cristo Bendicente statue, offering stunning panoramic views of San Miguel de Tucumán.
